CAROL MIRANDO, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Defendant's Renewed Unopposed Motion for Cease and Desist Order filed on August 13, 2018. Doc. 46. Defendant Rockhill Insurance Company ("Rockhill") seeks an order prohibiting Plaintiff Howard Frank from attempting to contact, communicate with or leave messages for any witnesses or representatives of Rockhill. See id. at 10. Plaintiff's counsel does not oppose the motion. Id. at 5. For the reasons stated herein, the motion will be granted.
On March 13, 2018, this case was removed from the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida. Doc. 1. In his one-count Complaint, Plaintiff alleges Rockhill breached a homeowner's insurance policy when it failed to pay for all of the damages Hurricane Irma caused to Plaintiff's home. Doc. 2 at 1-3. On April 17, 2018, Rockhill filed a Motion for Cease and Desist Order, requesting Plaintiff be enjoined from contacting Rockhill claims professional Michael Edwards and any other witnesses or representatives of Rockhill. Doc. 18. Rockhill alleged Plaintiff had been verbally abusing Mr. Edwards with inappropriate and profanity-laced phone calls and voicemails since September 2017. Id. at 2-4. The motion did not comply with Middle District of Florida Local Rule 3.01(g)
Rockhill's present motion reiterates the factual circumstances that supported its prior motion, including the reference that "Mr. Frank continues to call and harass Mr. Edwards after April 6, 2018." See Doc. 18 at 4; Doc. 46 at 3-4. Rockhill indicates it conferred with counsel for Plaintiff regarding the present motion on June 15, 2018. See Doc. 46 at 4-5. It is unclear why the requested relief is needed given the parties' representations at the PPTC on July 18, 2018 and that the renewed motion makes no references to recent attempted communications by Mr. Frank. Out of an abundance of caution and because the motion is unopposed, however, the Court will grant the relief sought. See generally Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32 (1991) (recognizing district courts' inherent power to control the conduct of litigants). Plaintiff is advised that any future failures to comply with Local Rule 2.04(h)
ACCORDINGLY, it is
1. Defendant's Renewed Unopposed Motion for Cease and Desist Order (Doc. 46) is
2. Pursuant to Defendant's Notice of Withdrawal (Doc. 48), Defendant's Renewed Motion for Appointment of Magistrate Judge to Supervise Depositions Where Plaintiff is Present (Doc. 47) is
